How we handle grease filter exchange in George Green
In George Green, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about grease building up behind the canopy filters and grease left in baffles after washing.
For a kitchen in or near George Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in George Green, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. If the system at a site near George Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What grease filter exchange looks like in George Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 42 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 33 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around George Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. It’s Slough council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in George Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in George Green falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wexham Court Primary School or anywhere near George Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around George Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Windsor Castle is about 3.3 miles south-west), access may need planning.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like George Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

George Green questions
Do you work overnight in George Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in George Green?
George Green is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is George Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in George Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
